Notes

  1. Lavery, Ships of the Line vol.1, p164.
gollark: Oh, why not borrow from perl too?
gollark: Instead of dictionaries/hashmaps make a wrapper around linked lists.
gollark: Make all strings be represented as trees in some horrible way regardless of length.
gollark: You should also steal syntax from a combination of lisp, PHP, Pascal, and Go.
gollark: What if horrible syntax frontend for osmarkslisp™?
